Kowa TSN-661 with wide angle 30x fixed magnification eyepiece.
The scope is an old model (bought in 2002), similar to the current TSN-601 (which goes for around 900$), but with a wider output diameter (hence more light). The eyepiece seems to be the one still sold with Kowa scopes in Australia (and goes for 450$).
The eyepiece can be swapped easily (like changing lenses on a reflex camera), but I really like that one. Unlike zoom versions, it gives a wide field of view, lots of light, and sufficient magnification in most wildlife observation situations.
Optics are in great condition (no scratches, no yellowing, no significant dust), but some the plastic is old and degraded (in particular around the eye piece), and there is a bit of plastic missing in the shading hood (does not affect performance). I do not have covers to protect the glass, I have used old socks to keep them safe.

ONLY ONE LEFT
Everything here has been through summers and winters outside, in a corner of the garden quite sheltered from wind, a bit shaded, well watered including with mist. I have used the bamboos to provide additional protection from wind and sun to the ferns. Happy to give discounts if you get several pots.
Also, I can give away elements of the automated watering system: programable irrigation controler, mist sprayers, regular sprayers, new and used pipes, plugs… Ask me about it.
This is a 1 year old cutting of a large bamboo. Gets about 5m tall and 2cm thick.
Alphonse Karr, to 4-5m tall, and Chinese goddess, to 2.5m.
About 2m span. Pot + soil + fern as a leafless small trunk bought for around 300$ 2 years ago. Initially sensitive to sunlight and heat, but now well established and does not seem to care any more as long as it is wet.
Currently has only two leaves. I do not know if it will get better again.
Started from small cutting 2 years ago, growing well.
Easily spread by rhizome
New shoot recently spread by rhizome.
This one has never grown much in my garden. Maybe you can figure out better conditions for it?
Currently not at its prettiest but should make new growth in spring.
Yellow-purple flowers in spring.
I have lots of calendula. Ask me if you want more!
Trimmed and dormant over winter. 3 years old and growing more every year. Got 130cm tall last year. Produces leaves with light pineapple smell and taste, nice to flavour water in summer. Also abundant red flowers in late summer and fall, on which spinebills and other honeyeaters come feed.
Right that’s not quite a vase, but it’s trying its best okay.
If you break one you can get a cursed set.
